get the look: nude bliss at calvin klein f/w 14.15

In keeping with the over-arching trend for natural complexions, this season, lips were barely there at all, with a nude lip often meaning just that – nude. In keeping with the stark softness and monochromatic tones of the grey trend, there was a modern ease to the look.

“We found ourselves spending a lot of time prepping lips, first by scrubbing them with Wet Wipes, then applying a lot of lip balm, waiting a second or two, then scrubbing them again
with Wet Wipes, and re-applying lip balm” says Max Factor Global Creative DirectorPat McGrath.

For many shows, that was where the process stopped, with a neutral shade of lip balm. Where color was added, it remained natural. At Calvin Klein, the shade was muted rose.

TIP: Where Pat McGrath wanted all the models to have a uniform lip
shade, she would apply base to their lips first. “If your lips are naturally dark, apply a touch of foundation or concealer first to take out your lip’s natural color – it will intensify your chosen shade of lip balm or lipstick.”
